(*)Between You and the One in the Grave It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrī – Allāh have mercy on him – once said during the funeral of a man: May Allāh have mercy on the man who works for the likes of this day; for today you are able to do what these brothers of yours, the residents of these graves, cannot do. So make full use of your health and free time before the day of distress and accounts comes upon you. Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Dhamm Al-Dunyā article 53. Advice from Abû Al-Dardâ’ A man once asked Abû Al-Dardâ’ – Allah be pleased with him – for advice. He said: Remember Allah in good times and He will mention you in hard times. When you remember those who have passed away, consider yourself like one of them. And when you think of involving yourself in some worldly matter, consider first what it will lead to in the end. Al-Dhahabî in Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ’, under the biography of Abû Al-Dardâ’. SubhanaaAllah
